I cant come up with enough superlatives for the cottage, and Deb the owner. Everything about Ethyl’s Place is so well thought out and vibrates with the loving time, energy and creativity that was put into restoring this valuable little piece of Blanco History. You will have a sweet special time at Ethyl’s Place!

Everything was very clean and neat. Our host had on the fireplaces and lights for when we arrived. She had snacks in the kitchen ready for us. She had all instructions printed out and completely understandable. My daughter lost one earring while there and our host was so kind to locate it and she even put it in the mail back to us. She was in constant contact when I had a question. She went above and beyond to make our stay in Blanco enjoyable! Thank you Deb. We hope to be back again soon.

Ethyl's Place is a cozy, vintage, small-town dream! If you choose to stay here make sure you read Deb's renovation story paired with the picture album of her journey; it's gives you invaluable insight and appreciation for the home! Deb left us (and our dogs) goodies and had everything else well stocked :)

I would give it more stars if I could! The house is beautifully restored and decorated. The host was so incredibly nice and responsive. She left a bag of goodies, oranges, bananas and snacks! The bathtub is amazing! And there are bath salts and bubble bath that smell wonderful. The pull out couch bed was super comfy. We felt very pampered It's a great location, close to many restaurants and the grocery store is just a few minutes away. Would definitely stay here again! 10 stars!

Very easy to get to. Loved all the antique furniture & nostalgic decorations for the Christmas holiday. Kitchen was very roomy , but would’ve been nice a slightly larger convection/toaster oven to cook our breakfast casserole in.
